Everyone who sees my Groezrock wristband has in no uncertain terms informed me that I look like a right twat but I’m flying the flag until the thing gets mank and falls off on its own accord. Additional question: does the eye-rolling this prompted extend itself to otherwise unrecognisable band folk wearing laminates around their belts when not in the vicinity of a venue? Are musician-folk accountable for their douchebaggery? Where are we drawing the line here?
Sydney band Breaking Orbit most recently supported Dead Letter Circus on their Aussie tour, but now they’re heading out on their own in support of new single Silence Seekers. See them at Revolver on Friday June 14.
Poison City Records broke hearts across the country last week when tickets for the Weekender Festival flew out the door at an astounding rate. Their Friday and Sunday shows sold out in a flash and at time of print, only tickets to the Corner Hotel show (featuring The Smith Street Band, Joyce Manor, Cheap Girls, Luca Brasi, Milhouse and Grim Fandango) remain. They’re selling fast.
Something With Numbers are back with a vengeance and touring in support of their newy Eleven Eleven which copped a release last week via Stop Start/EMI. Head over to Ding Dong on July 6 to catch their return to the stage.
Local Melbourne act Masketta Fall are hitting the road with an epic run of 18+ dates across the country. Suss their pop rock vibe when they hit Bang on Saturday July 20. Tickets at the door only.
Melbourne dudes Twelve Foot Ninja went and smashed some records for crowd funding when they raised $52,000 in order to film a new video. Apparently one overseas fan lent the band a sweet $10,000 to get them over the line. Generous much?
Mindsnare have decided they’re due for another quick lap of the country and will play a bunch of headlining shows this winter. They’ll celebrate ’20 Years Of Brewtality’ when they hit Central Club (Swan St, Richmond) in Melbourne with Warbrain, Crisis Alert and Metalstorm.
